Elliott County FFA Chapter Promotes Ag Tag Program
The month of March is Ag Tag season, when farmers receive their annual farm license plate
registration renewals. Though paying taxes doesn’t usually call for celebration, knowing you can
make a difference in your community makes the Ag Tag program a contribution you can be
proud of.
Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Ryan Quarles announced that in 2021 Kentucky farmers
donated $731,627.67 to the Ag Tag Program– the highest ever in program history
“I want to send a huge ‘Thank You ’to everyone who donated to the voluntary ‘Ag Tag ’program
this year, surpassing all previous records and showing how much our agricultural community
means to the state of Kentucky,” Commissioner Quarles said. “Through the years, the Ag Tag
Program has succeeded in providing much-needed funding for promoting agriculture and
educating Kentucky’s youth on the importance of agriculture in our everyday lives. Your
generosity will help ensure Kentucky agriculture has a bright future.”
The (FILL IN) FFA Chapter received $63.00last fall. These funds were used locally to purchase
classroom supplies. We are counting on your support to have an even better year! In Elliott
County, 14% of folks that purchase a farm tag make the donation, the potential impact of 100%
donations would be tremendous and we need your help. You can pay your Ag Tag at the
County Clerk’s office, or by going to drive.ky.gov, choose “Vehicle Services” and then
“Registration Renewal”.
